A fourth candidate was fired by Lord Sugar after a chaotic task.
Another hopeful has been axed from The Apprentice following a disastrous third challenge.
Lord Sugar’s BBC show is gathering pace, having already witnessed a shocking double elimination in the opening episode after whisking the candidates off to Hong Kong.
Those vying for a £250,000 business investment include a former Geordie Shore personality and someone who runs a photobooth enterprise.
During tonight’s instalment, a fourth hopeful got the chop from the boardroom after a shambolic task.
The participants were challenged to transform poultry into pounds, with one squad handed 25 kilos of chicken whilst the other received 25 kilos of eggs, reports Wales Online.

Both groups were required to devise a dish for public consumption, plus satisfy a corporate customer seeking a tailored canapé order which the contestants had to prepare and deliver at a function.
In teaser clips for the episode ahead of it airing, one team caused chaos in the kitchen as they attempted to cook a carbonara sauce without being able to taste eggs, cheese and pork, leaving them all grimacing at the taste. Another saw the same team fail at simple mathematics, confusing 5g of flour for 1.5kg.
However, despite their kitchen antics, it was a negotiation with a corporate client that left a team failing.
Tanmay, Megan and Carrington found themselves in the firing line, with team leader Carrington blaming the loss on low negotiation, and Tanmay and Megan battling it out for another week.
After securing the low deal, Tanmay became the fourth candidate to leave the competition, later admitting his firing was “unfair”.
He shared: “Ultimately, I am disappointed for it to end this way. When we went into the negotiation, I was looking forward to it, I see negotiation as an art form, but that negotiation didn’t become a very nice piece of art. Karishma started with a monologue which set the tempo and then Megan came through and set the price ceiling by saying £12, and I shook the hand on £11.80 trying to salvage it.
“I did take the bullet in the boardroom and I do think it was unfair. But you win some and you lose some and I can’t do much about it now!”
He went on to say he didn’t believe he deserved being fired, adding: “I think at the time, sitting in the boardroom, it was a lot closer and I remember in the moment thinking it could probably go either way between myself, Megan and Carrington.
“You could have even put an argument forward for Karishma and Andrea but in the boardroom, I was there, and I tried to keep composed but I do think it was unfair.”

Speaking of his experience on the show, Tanmay added: “I have learnt that I can probably do anything now. I think I was already confident, but it has given me more confidence that I can do anything I want to do. I can put my mind to it and do it. It has also given me the confidence in my ability to work with people of different backgrounds and temperaments, as you know, some are fierier than others. It was good to handle big personalities.
“I also learnt that I am good at reading people and building rapport. Although the process taught me that there are moments where leadership means pausing the room when momentum is moving too fast, especially when decisions affect value.”
The 20th series of The Apprentice airs on Thursday 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer. The Apprentice: Unfinished Business will air immediately after at 10:00pm on BBC Two and iPlayer.
